Identify all nonbonding lone pairs of electrons in the following molecules, and tell what geometry you expect for each of the indicated atoms. (a) The oxygen atom in dimethyl ether, CH3OOOCH3 (b) The nitrogen atom in trimethylamine, H3C N CH3 CH3 (c) ,PH3 (d) The sulfur atom in the amino acid methionine, CH3 S CH2CH2CHCOH NH2

the correct answer is b. a strong acid completely dissociates to its ions when dissolved in water. completely dissociates to and ions. a is incorrect because does not fully ionize to and ions and some remain as the compound . c and d are incorrect because, and do not fall into the category of bronsted lowry acids. a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor and since both molecules do not have a proton to donate they are not bronsted lowry acids. likewise,   if we use the lewis acid definition, they cannot be acids. a lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. both and have a complete octet so can not accept any electrons which disqualifies them as acids.

it is reliable if two scientists recorded it
